SNL decided long ago to normally book artists that will attract the most eyeballs.

Carrey is wrong as Biden. They have the look down, but Carrey is too manic to play Sleepy Joe. Hammond would do a better and darker Trump too.

Update is sharp now, when they decide to go dark.
Weekend Update has always been my favorite part of the show and I even enjoyed the standalone version they previously tried.

I agree that top musical talent is very subjective. I'm not sure what their approach is for booking the acts but something just doesn't seem right to me. One big issue I have is that the performances, even from great artists, seem overly terrible on SNL. Maybe it is the studio set up, maybe it is the production aspect of it.
